• Recovering palladium from end-of-life products, such as catalytic converters and electronic waste, is becoming essential because of the increasing demand for metal, especially from the automotive and electronics industries. There is a focus on developing advanced recycling technologies to recover palladium effectively and decrease the reliance on original mining sites. This not only fulfills the need but also improves environmental sustainability by reducing the ecological footprint linked to mining. The recycling sector is being driven by the implementation of circular economy practices and an emphasis on resource efficiency. These efforts help industries sustainably secure palladium by maintaining a consistent supply through efficient recycling. In November 2023, Sibanye-Stillwater revealed the purchase of the Reldan Group in the US for $211.5 million, strengthening its involvement in the circular economy and metal recycling, particularly palladium. This planned decision is anticipated to enhance Sibanye-Stillwater's profits and operational capabilities in metal recycling.
• The safety of palladium and its resistance to rust make it an essential component in the medical and dental industries. It is also used in dental alloys for crowns, bridges, and other dental restorations because of its strength and visual appeal. The importance of palladium in making surgical tools and gear underscores its value in the healthcare sector. Increased global population, higher spending on healthcare, and technological progress in medical and dental fields are driving the need for palladium-based materials.
• The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reported that the total global sales of the semiconductor industry reached $526.8 billion in 2023. Palladium is utilized in the semiconductor sector because of its excellent conductive characteristics and ability to resist corrosion. It is used in processes for depositing thin films like physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), to form conductive layers on semiconductor wafers. It is also used in developing interconnects, necessary for transferring electrical signals inside chips, and in electroless plating to coat even metal layers evenly without an external electric charge. Furthermore, palladium alloy wires are employed in wire bonding and specialized soldering and brazing tasks to ensure dependable electrical connections and structural strength in semiconductor devices.
